Pre Match - Liverpool v Bayer Leverkusen, 5th November 2024- 8pm (Happy Bonfires Night)

Xhaka says he has good and bad experiences at Anfield.

Mate, you lost 5 times, drew twice and won once on penalties.

:joy:

Is the pens a league cup tie?

I’d just like to point out that this whole Bonfire Night thing is a massive piece of Anti-Catholic propaganda and Guy Fawkes was a fall guy for a huge false flag operation.
It’s also bad for dogs apparently.

I wish every telecast was delivered with crowd only noise. I mean apart from the bandwidth, it’s free given they already capture it separately.

Sky Deutschland used to do this on Premier League games but they swapped it to have the English commentary on the second channel.

Commentary is one of the biggest rackets going. You’re unwanted and unnecessary, and somehow you’ve managed to convince the broadcasters you’re an essential part of the experience.

If you were at the game and the lad sat next to you insisted on talking through the whole thing, telling you what you were already watching, even down to what player has the ball and what they are doing with it, you’d tell him to shut the fuck up.

The other week I was watching a game and the commentary feed went off for ten minutes. It was bliss. When it came back, they were apologising like it was some massive downgrade in the service they’d offered.

Often, especially if it’s Neville, I’ll just turn off the sound and watch in complete silence.

The stadium sound only option is my favourite part of having games on Prime.

Our previous philosophy could leave us exposed if all cylinders weren’t firing. Or if martial arts were employed on the football pitch.

We are a bit more measured and pragmatic now. Let’s see.

Want to meet at @Sithbare’s for dinner tomorrow? He will owe me. But I don’t want to be alone listening to him make excuses about why he doesn’t owe me.

Shit.

I’ve got fireworks going off to the North, East, South and West side of me and the dog won’t shut the fuck up. Can’t lock him up in the basement because that’s where the kids are.

Ibrahima Konate and Alexis Mac Allister are both one yellow card away from missing the next game in the Champions League.

Next game after Leverkusen is Real Madrid at Anfield.
